+I was a freshman in college in the fall of 1987, and the grad student who was the TA\footnote{teaching assistant} for my geology lab was constantly walking around the room wearing a Sony Discman and listening to something that I could just barely make out as he walked behind us. I finally asked him what he was listening to when he was walking behind me, and he stopped, took off his headphone, and popped them on my ears.

+To be fair, this was not the first time I had heard heavy metal music. Kiss and Black Sabbath were staples of 1970s AM radio, after all, and I had been a fan of Def Leppard since I first heard their album \textit{High 'n' Dry} and the second single that had been released from it, ``Bringin' On the Heartbreak'' in 1981.

+But still, this was a different kind of heavy metal music. It was heavier, it was faster, it was angrier. It sounded like the kind of music that was made by people who are angry at the world. As it turns out, that was not a wrong impression in a lot of ways.
